The company describes it as a cutting-edge environment for housing demonstrations, testing, workshops and research.
RFID Innovation
For example, there will be detailed RFID demonstrations tailored to specific sectors, such as fashion and apparel, automotive, and healthcare. As well as showcasing business use cases involving traceability, brand protection, industry 4.0, and asset management.
Note that the University of Parma is an alliance partner of the RFID lab, which also features dedicated spaces for education and research activities. And Murata says it intends to make the hub fully available to the University’s academic community.
The wider aim is close the gap, for RFID Innovation, between academic discoveries and industrial implementation.
Collaboration
“This innovative and interactive space is a testament not only to the scientific and educational collaboration with the University of Parma but also to our commitment to supporting and stimulating innovation together with the industry, our customers and partners,” said Francesco Fantoni Guerci, CEO of Murata ID Solutions.
“Our goal is to contribute to the advancement of technology. This new facility, where innovation can flourish, helps us honour that commitment. We look forward to welcoming all stakeholders to experience the Hub and collectively build the future of IoT and RFID.”
The official inauguration ceremony took place at the end of last year. Attending was the Rector of the University of Parma, together with university representatives and executives and technical experts from Murata ID Solutions.
